which car is this in relation to?

It's a citroen C4

Think that would have been a great starting point FFS being as it is a DS3 forum.

Looks like there should be a round plastic cap that needs to be removed not under the spare but off to the side.

Wow...

[BeefMasta]

Here's a wee video to help explain it better.

I see what you did there.

Nice to see my subtle humour didn't just whizz by

Yes, you would think so, wouldn't you....... DS and C4- same electric brake....... same adblue tank location I think....... The handbook certainly shows the two alternative locations for the filler - either next to the fuel cap, or on the boot floor, near to the wheel well...... unfortunately, there's no cap at either location.

DS3 doesn't have electric handbrake.

Can i just ask... Are you positive your car has an AdBlue tank? I don't know enough about it to know which vehicles do or don't come with AdBlue tanks.

Am I the only one thinking this question would probably be better asked on a C4 forum?

This is the AdBlue site and suggests there is only one place for AdBlue to be added in a C4. If it isn't there, it's possible you don't have an AdBlue tank..

And from the same site:

The access to the AdBlue® tank in diesel cars can be found in three different places, depending on the model of the vehicle :
• Access next to the Diesel fuel cap in the fuel tank cover
• Access in the trunk
• Access under the bonnet
Manufacturers tend to standardise the location of the access to the AdBlue® tank so that it is next to the Diesel fuel cap. This is, for example, the case with Audi vehicles, while the tank access of Peugeot/Citroën/DS are all located in the trunk under the spare wheel.
Once you have found the position of your tank, it is now a case of filling it.

My thoughts exactly - hence my previous reply. Suppose it's worth a shot asking on here, however I think it would be better off on a C4 forum though.

Just go and pop into your dealer, most of us do the top up service for a tenner.

Be a lot easier plus the old stuff will get pumped out.

Their is a fault in your logic. The DS3 does Not have an electronic brake. A big reason we are all going "what the hell is he talking about!" well that and it's a C4

There you go - the voice of reason!!

While we're at it, I can't seem to locate the ejector seat on my new aeroplane. It has wings, the new DS3 has "wings" on the front grille, ergo they must be the same??
